Tricellular Model

Question 1

What direction does air blow from between

Answer 1

Air blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure between pressure belts

Question 2

With air moving from high pressure to low pressure where does this help to transfer heat to

Answer 2

This helps to transfer heat from the surplus equatorial regions to the deficit polar regions

Question 3

What is formed as the movement of air cannot be done all in one go

Answer 3

A 3 cell model called the Tricellular model was developed

Question 4
